Heinemann 1979 : "The Scientology Sect ..." Page 37
Brainwashing and Psycho-mutation
The organizational principle of disinformation is: each person
must only know as much as he absolutely has to. At the same
time the meaning of the knowledge is altered through "word
clearing" and "redefinition of words." A type of mental vacuum
forms because the prior concepts of values are disappearing.
This vacuum is filled with Scientology "knowledge." This process
is called "studying", which seemingly justifies it. Because
"studying" in today's usual sense of the word means the
attainment of a professional career with the goal of being able to
make a livelihood from it. It is completely different with the
Scientologists: what they learn has no commercial value outside
of a Scientology organization. Not infrequently, the result is
mental and economic dependence.
This process is often described as brainwashing, more recently,
also as psychomutation, and the modification of the psyche. We
believe these type of terms are completely adequate, because at
the end of this process the Scientology adherent is ready to
believe the impossible, the E-meter con game and the "clear"
charlatanry.
